My first 12-story high mural is a fact! I painted this pegasus for the people of Ede, the Netherlands, as a memorial for the 2000 British paratroopers that landed in this area in September 1944. They came to aid the Dutch army in the second world war. As I always paint animals, I tried to find a way to translate this historical moment into a fitting design. When I learned that the soldiers had been wearing a little emblem of a Pegasus on their arm, I knew what to do. For me it symbolizes hope, something that the people on the ground must have felt when they saw the soldiers coming down from the skies.
